@aquaticpanda M5 does not store more than one WiFi network. When you select "Configure WiFi", current WiFi is deleted the moment you press "Yes" to the "This will reset your WiFi settings." prompt, even if you don't complete the process to enter SSID/pass. Keeping these in mind could you please rerun the steps?

fixed now. When I tried to switch back I was not able to. I hard reset my router to clear all DHCP leases and it came up so it looks like my switch was not releasing the IP of the M5 when I switched networks and switched back and that somehow was effecting the connection. Both units are on netgear nighthawk routers.
